gtools 3.4.1 - 2014-05-27 ------------------------- Bug fixes: - smartbind() now converts all non-atomic type columns (except factor) to type character instead of generating an opaque error message. Other changes: - the argument to ASCIIfy() is now named 'x' instead of 'string'. - minor formatting changes to ASCIIfy() man page. gtools 3.4.0 - 2014-04-14 ------------------------- New features: - New ASCIIfy() function to converts character vectors to ASCII representation by escaping them as \x00 or \u0000 codes. Contributed by Arni Magnusson. gtools 3.3.1 - 2014-03-01 ------------------------- Bug fixes: - 'mixedorder' (and hence 'mixedsort') not properly handling single-character strings between numbers, so that '1a2' was being handled as a single string rather than being properly handled as c('1', 'a', '2'). gtools 3.3.0 - 2014-02-11 ------------------------- New features: - Add the getDependencies() function to return a list of dependencies for the specified package(s). Includes arguments to control whether these dependencies should be constructed using information from locally installed packages ('installed', default is TRUE), avilable CRAN packages ('available', default is TRUE) and whether to include base ('base', default=FALSE) and recommended ('recommended', default is FALSE) packages. Bug fixes: - binsearch() was returning the wrong endpoint & value when the found value was at the upper endpoint. gtools 3.2.1 - 2014-01-13 ------------------------- Bug fixes: - Resolve circular dependency with gdata gtools 3.2.0 - 2014-01-11 ------------------------- New features: - The keywords() function now accepts a function or function name as an argument and will return the list of keywords associated with the named function. - New function stars.pval() which will generate p-value significance symbols ('***', '**', etc.) Bug fixes: - R/mixedsort.R: mixedorder() was failing to correctly handle numbers including decimals due to a faulty regular expression. Other changes: - capture() and sprint() are now defunct. gtools 3.1.1 - 2013-11-06 ------------------------- Bug fixes: - Fix problem with mixedorder/mixedsort when there is zero or one elements in the argument vector. gtools 3.1.0 - 2013-09-22 ------------------------- Major changes: - The function 'addLast()' (deprecated since gtools 3.0.0) is no longer available, and has been marked defunct. Bug fixes: - Modified 'mixedorder()' to use Use 'suppressWarnings() instead of 'options(warn=-1)'. This will avoid egregious warning messages when called from within a nested environment, such as when run from within 'knitr' gtools 3.0.0 - 2013-07-06 ------------------------- Major changes: - The function 'addLast()' has been deprecated because it directly manipulates the global environment, which is expressly prohibited by the CRAN policies. - A new function, 'lastAdd()' has been created to replace 'addLast()'. The name has been changed because the two functions require different syntax. 'addLast()' was used like this: byeWorld <- function() cat("\nGoodbye World!\n") addLast(byeWorld) The new 'lastAdd()' function is used like this: byeWorld <- function() cat("\nGoodbye World!\n") .Last <- lastAdd(byeWorld) Bug fixes: - Update checkRVersion() to work with R version 3.0.0 and later. Other changes: - Remove cross-reference to (obsolete?) moc package - The function 'assert()' (deprecated since gtools 2.5.0) is no longer available and has been marked defunct. gtools 2.7.1 - 2013-03-17 ------------------------- Bug fixes: - smartbind() was not properly handling factor columns when the first data frame did not include the relevant column. gtools 2.7.0 - 2012-06-19 ------------------------- New features: - smartbind() has a new 'sep' argument to allow specification of the character(s) used to separate components of constructed column names - smartbind() has a new 'verbose' argument to provide details on how coluumns are being processed Bug fixes: - smartbind() has been enhanced to improve handling of factor and ordered factor columns. gtools 2.6.2 - 2011-09-28 ------------------------- New features: - Add 'fill' argument to smartbind() to specify a value to use for missing entries. gtools 2.6.1 ------------ New features: - Add newVersionAvailable() function to compare running and latest available R versions. - Add keywords() function to show $RHOME/doc/KEYWORDS file Bug fixes: - Correct windows make flags as suggested by Brian Ripley. - Update Greg's email address and fix Rd syntax errors gtools 2.5.0 ------------ New features: - Add checkRVersion() function to determin if a newer version of R is available. - Deprecated assert() in favor of base::stopifnot Bug fixes: - Fix bug in binsearch() identified by 2.6.0 R CMD CHECK Other changes: - Improve text explanation of how defmacro() and strmacro() differ from function(). - Update definitions of odd() and even() to use modulus operator instead of division. gtools 2.4.0 ------------ - Add binsearch() function, previously in the genetics() package. gtools 2.3.1 ------------ - Add ask() function to prompt the user and collect a single response. gtools 2.3.0 ------------ - Update email address for Greg - Add new 'smartbind' function, which combines data frames efficiently, even if they have different column names. gtools 2.2.3 ------------ - setTCPNoDelay now compiles & works properly on Windows gtools 2.2.2 ------------ - src/setTCPNoDelay.c: Add C source code for setTCPNoDelay. - NAMESPACE: Add UseDynLib to NAMESPACE so the shared library gets properly loaded. - Updated Greg's email address. gtools 2.2.1 ------------ - New function 'addLast' that adds functions to R's .Last() so that they will be executed when R is terminating. - New function setTCPNoDelay() that allows the TCP_NODELAY flag to be changed on socket objects. gtools 2.1.0 ------------ - Added assert.R (and documentation) - Added the defmacro() function, extracted from Lumley T. "Programmer's Niche: Macros in {R}", R News, 2001, Vol 1, No. 3, pp 11--13, \url{http://CRAN.R-project.org/doc/Rnews/} - Added DESCRIPTION and removed DESCRIPTION.in
